PART OF IOTA24: INDIAN OCEAN CRAFT TRIENNIAL, SUPPORTED BY LOTTERYWEST
Mélange
underFOOT is a grounded collective of seven artists who share a special companionship. Nien Schwarz, Holly Story, Perdita Phillips, Annette Nykiel, Sharyn Egan, Jane Donlin and Nandi Chinna are multidisciplinary makers who care deeply about Nature and their connection to Country, recognising they live on unceded land. Their professional backgrounds include visual arts and crafts, creative writing, geology, environmental science, food science and Indigenous Australian cultural studies. The underFOOT collective is a nexus through which these artists share field-based experiences as well as academic and studio knowledge. Together they explore deep time, stratigraphy and biota, practicing slow-making through long-term engagement with non-urban places and non-human worlds.
Mélange is a gathering of voices. Stories about place are entangled - steamed, cast, dyed, stitched, walked, woven, written, printed, narrated, recorded and performed. Drawing on divergent and convergent threads through their multifaceted practices, the collective showcases beautifully crafted contemporary works.
